In June, 2013, during this year’s G8 summit, Obama and Putin not only had disagreements in the meeting, but also had a diplomatic crisis out of the meeting. Obama and Putin both lived in a same hotel in Northern Ireland. On the first morning, both of them wanted to go to the gym in their hotel to workout and both of them booked the time yesterday evening. When Putin arrived, he found that Obama had arrived earlier than him and was using the gym at that time. They chatted with each other. At last, they did not workout together in the same gym and Putin decided to leave the gym to Obama and instead swim in the freezing waters of Lough Enre for his morning workout.

This news is very funny and really attracted me. From viewing by other aspects, we can find that America and Russia still butted heads over the conflict in Syria. They bring this conflict into their real lives. In my opinion, I think that Putin did a great job because his back down. It definitely makes him more gentle and attractive which leads to a better reputation of his country.
